Speed Bake TM Cooking System
Speed Bake TM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with
Speed Bake TM Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and
moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven
can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake
Benefits of Speed Bake
- Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
- Two racks can be used with more even cooking and browning.
- No special pans or bakeware needed.
To Set Speed Bake TM
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Time Bake and Delayed Time Bake
modes.
2. Turn the Speed Bake switch to ON position. The indicator light will glow and the fan will come on. The
fan stays on when oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue
to operate until baking is complete.
3. When using Speed Bake feature along with the Delayed Timed Bake mode, the fan will begin to operate
when the control is set. The oven elements will not begin to operate until the Delayed Start Time is
reached. This operation is normal.
4. To cancel Speed Bake function, push CANCEL on the oven control as you would to cancel any baking
function.
Note: Speed Bake mode will not work during a clean cycle.
